TwoFour   10 #4 Posted October 26, 2006 When I was a *whispers* Social Worker, I placed a man in a residential home and I wrote into the contract that he had to have bread and dripping every day!!  He was happy as Larry once we'd signed up!

Fantomas   10 #9 Posted October 26, 2006 Does anyone call chip butties.... chip muffins???  Yes! I'm from Oldham originally and there it's called a chip muffin, meaning chips in a breadcake (a muffin). Over there a chip butty is 2 slices of bread with chips in.  I've had more arguments on this subject than just about anything!
